Maynard Dixon's landscapes and One Point Prospective



In this lesson we will first have a short discussion and hands on practice on cool and warm colors and how important it is to know the subtle differences when painting a landscape. I will then introduce one point prospective. A road to the horizon line. I will discuss the american artist Maynard Dixon and show numerous images of his work. I will demonstrate how to draw clouds. No more cotton balls in the skies! They will learn about foreground, middle ground and distant ground and the importance of using color and value to create the illusion of distance.
Above drawings are done by students ages 6 and 9.
